Man Who Found, Returned Missing N100m Gets Hajj Slot, Cash, Bus

Salihu AbdulHadi Kankia, a member of the First Aid Group of Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa Iqamatus Sunnah (JIBWIS), has been honored for his honesty.

During the closing ceremony for Islamic scholars presenting this year’s Ramadan Tafsir in Bauchi, Kankia was recognized for returning a lost bag containing over N100 million. Engr Mustapha Imam Sitti, National Director of the First Aid Group, commended Kankia for his act of integrity. Kankia found the bag containing a large sum of money and instead of keeping it for himself, he rushed to the police station to report his discovery.

The police successfully located the owner, who verified the contents and confirmed that nothing was missing. Kankia's honesty didn't go unnoticed and he was honored with an award by The Izala group. They also sponsored his Hajj pilgrimage this year. Additionally, he received two million naira from Hon. Abdulmalik Zannan Bangudu, a member of the Zamfara State Assembly, and a bus from Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed of Bauchi State to kickstart a business venture.
